Magnolia Express

About the band

Magnolia Express

Atlanta, GA

Magnolia Express is an Atlanta band playing what its own site calls modern jamgrass with an outlaw soul — an acoustic-driven mix of roots music, bluegrass and improvisational rock that its bio credits to the 1970s Outlaw Country movement and the "sonic stew" of the Grateful Dead. Eddie's Attic describes the same blend, in the venue's own listing, as weaving in "the spirit of the Dead." They are a recurring fixture of the Atlanta Dead scene: named on the Jerry Jam 2022 bill at the Lake Claire Community Land Trust, listed again on their own calendar for Jerry Jam 2025, and carried on the Jerry Day ATL roster. They release substantial original material as well, which is why the Dead is in the mix here rather than the whole act.
